"Dear Geoph the Biblical scholar.

The Sixth Commandment does NOT read : 'Thou shalt not kill'." The correct translation from the Hebrew or the Greek is: 'Thou shalt not murder'.

Gargoyle:

Thank you for pointing out the accurate translation. Actually, I am quite aware of the veracity of the above statement. In fact, I almost pointed that out in my post, but was too lazy to support the statement and declined. And besides, I'm not particularly interested in debating theology at this point in my life. Finally, its much more fun to come in with a quick quip and run.
